In this game there is a board on which are illustrated the castle at Zenda and the palace at Streslau and numerous playing tracks representing the roads between them. There are 3 dice, 4 large pieces and 8 small green pieces who are soldiers. The large red piece represents the king who was the Prizoner of Zenda, 2 large yellow pieces represent Rudolph and Colonel Sapt and the large Green piece represents Black Michael. To win the Zenda player has to capture green pieces with his yellow pieces to open a hole in the green line through which his red piece may slip to Streslau and thus win the game. The Streslau player should try and stop all paths leading to his city by blockade at critical points.
